Nothing wrong with using containers as you can see from my test box pictures. But those phony pictures (Seattle Times) are just that- phony. Talking about 100 pounds of potatoes in a small space-unbelievable. I knew it was nonsense from observation, so decided to test. Potato tubers do not grow...

Contamination indeed! There was a court case in Saskatchewan about soy beans inadvertently spontaneously seeding a field. This defence went out the window when it was discovered that the beans were in nice neat rows. That said. The racket that one cannot use this years crop for seed, but must...

http://www.durgan.org/URL/?QHBIN 21 August 2009 How a Potato Plant Grows There is a great deal of information on the Internet about growing potatoes in tires, boxes and indicating that large quantities of new tubers can be produced with high vertical hilling. The view propagated is that potatoes...

Fibre screening is reasonably heavy and very strong, meaning it doesn't snag on bushes. It will stay in place unless there is a strong wind. Sometimes I place a piece of wood along the side mostly to not leave a space for small birds to enter. It is the best netting that I have encountered. I...

I do not grow the soy beans.I eat about 60 pounds a year and buy them in 20 pound bags. Now I can purchase none GMO, but am not really particular.

Horseradish keeps almost forever. It does change from white to grey though. I keep it for about a year anyway. The taste is about the same throughout.

The rebar was painted (Green Tremclad) on a bright sunny day with a brush laid on a plastic sheet to inhibit rust . This only takes a few minutes and rebar rusts in a short time, and is difficult to handle, due to the rust getting on hands and clothes.

http://www.durgan.org/URL/?HKERY 5 November 2010 Greenhouse on Deck. I decided to build a large greenhouse on the deck, which doesnt get much use. The enclosure will be a sun room if appropriate, instead of the canvas structure that use to be there. I have a small 10,000 BTU heater that...
